a large white sea bird riding the thermals, it's winds outspread on a bright sunny day as it flies to towards the camera, another blurry distant bird flies away behind it.

Pipit to the Post

Most people who visit the RSPB Reserve at Bempton Cliffs just come to see the Puffins and Gannets, but I like to look inland as well as out to sea, walk beyond the boundaries of the reserve and look at everything.

The more observant ornithologists out there will note the long hind claws which are clearly visible in this shot.

When they won't let you in the builders merchants, you have to get your nesting materials wherever you can

Had a fantastic day at #Bempton Cliffs today. Hundreds of thousands of noisy, stinky seabirds - an amazing spectacle.

Everyone seems to go mad for the slightly elusive #puffins (although we did see plenty), but it's the #gannets that are my favourite.

Unfortunately my DSLR borked itself 2 days ago, so no chance of decent photos.

Bits of Birdwatching Stuff: Bempton
I managed to catch sight of the red-eyed vireo there the other day though the photos I managed to get of it weren't up to much.

The stunning Ring Ouzel that has been at #Bempton Cliffs #RSPB for a few days. It was a very windy and chilly day with occasional showers. Two Stonechats, a few Gannets, and many Fulmars were also about #UKbirds #traintrip
